Boy Cakes

We did some girlie cakes this week too (flip flops, a ballerina, and a couple of stacked packages in pinks and greens) but these little boy cakes were so cute I had to show them off. The "overalls" were for a baby shower welcoming a boy. There were two dozen "onsie" shortbread cookies to match, iced light blue with the red monogram.

Then there was this cute pineapple house cake for a Sponge Bob fan. I had explained to his mother that we did not do licensed characters, but we could work with the theme. The pineapple is made from four separate stacked single layer cakes, carved slightly at the top. There are several cookies on sticks iced green for the leaves. The door and windows are fondant, but the cake itself is iced in buttercream.

Then there was this "Thomas the Tank" themed train track scene. Like the first cake, this one has matching train cookies. There is enough icing on and around this cake to turn the children attending the party a pretty shade of green...
